<description><![CDATA[Lynett, What I do not understand is why did you choose to have a child with a man like this knowing well he was not interested in you? Well its done and now you need to look after yourself and the baby. Questions you need to ask yourself are, do you really want your child to grow up in an environment like this? Do you want to continue feeling neglected and trampled upon? Would you like your kid to look at the father and become like him? <br/>Thousands of single moms n dads out there who are doing a wonderful job. Yes it would mean you going back to work, but hey, you will regain all self respect and esteem as your child would be blooming by their moms success.<br/>End of the day we all can only advice you but you need to make a decision for yourself. Life ain't a fairy tale.... Sometimes we need to face the challenges to become a stronger person.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Lynett - It's a very sad story and I want to send you a big hug.  I think you will not be able to snap out of your victim role unless you are seeing a counselor or a therapist. Your abusive father is now replaced by an abusive husband, and you desperately need to get out of this cycle of abuse by the men in your life.  Therapy (if you can afford it), your own income through a job are the two things you must aim at.  You need to heal inside too in order to be able to truly move on -- and you owe it to your child.<br/><em>edited by Loukoum on 25/05/2013</em>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Thank you all for the replies. It does broaden your perspective when you listen to other people. <br/>I am not sure why, but hope and love lingers in my heart. It makes me strong at times, and weakens me too occasionally.. Maybe this is life..]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I was informed that recently City were not accepting women in labour at less than 38 weeks as there was a lack of space in the NICU so this may be why they have cancelled your C-Section Andrea <img src="images/smilies/upset.gif" border=0><br/><br/>I am due to deliver in a couple of weeks and my doctor has suggested I also look at the new Al Zahra (sp?) hospital in Barsha. Apparently their facilities are excellent. There current staff to patient ratio is low so you will get a lot of care and unlike City they have wireless monitoring so you can move around the room freely. (American have wireless monitoring too). Have heard mention that they will be doing water births too...?<br/><br/>I had my 1st baby at City and was disappointed with my midwife - wasn't in the room much, gave no advice on different positions, when I was asking for gas and air at 7cm told me it was too early(!)....but I have heard great things about City from other friends who have delivered there so i think I was maybe unlucky. I found the facilities good at City though and would be happy to have my second baby there but I have ensured this time I have better support through my labour.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[the lactulose stuff is basically exactly the same as giving prune juice, so don't stress about giving it, its not really "medicine" its just a type of sugar that attracts water into the bowel. I wouldn't give everything at once though, you are likely to give your baby a crampy, gassy, runny tummy which won't be much fun for anyone.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Honestly, we only splurged on one baby item and it was the car seat. With the way people drive here and the traffic accident statistics of this country, I'd be terrified to drive with my baby in the car if he was in a sub par seat. It is also NOT recommended to buy a secondhand seat unless you know the previous owners personally, they could have been in an accident with the car seat and it could have invisible damage that makes it unsafe to use. Call me paranoid but again, traffic in Dubai is no joke and a couple hundred dirhams more are not worth risking your child's life over.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[They both went to JBR, and I was very happy. It does seem a little cramped, but the care to the children was fantastic and they have a large outdoor play area and separate indoor areas for dance and movement and a sensory room, so they aren't in the classroom the whole time.<br/><br/>My DS is in FS1 and we moved him to the Lakes branch as it was more convenient. It is smaller, but has a lovely atmosphere and he loves it there.]]></description>
